The University of North Georgia has officially opened the doors of its new campus in Blue Ridge. “UNG has a strong history of academic excellence and student success, and we are very excited about the opportunities this campus presents for students in this area to complete college,” said UNG President Bonita Jacobs at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday. “While we have students from 46 states, we know that about 85 percent of our students come from a 30-county area in northeast Georgia, and this campus helps UNG fulfill its mission as a regional university to increase educational opportunity that leads to economic development.”
